History
The Review held its inaugural launch night in 2016. It started as a student-run law journal seeking to provide a platform for high quality legal scholarship, with the aim of contributing to debates pertaining to all areas of the law. We have now published four volumes online and in-print, and run an active blog showcasing shorter pieces on topical legal issues.
